Looking Back
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I try to find a way out of this hole
But I'm dug in deep, and it's walls are steep
Been down so long it seems like all I've known
I try to find a way to make you see
The good in me, make you believe
I wasn't ready then but I can show you how
I'm ready now
Woah woah
It seems like it gets harder every year
I took two steps forward but three steps back
Had to take a deep breath before my bags were packed
It's gotta get easier from here
I had to learn to live without looking back
Look inside myself to find the things I lacked
I'm better off without all of your doubt
You don't know me, or who I'll be
And without your help I've grown so much this year
I try to find a way to make you see
The good in me, make you believe
I wasn't ready then but I can show you how
I'm ready now
One thing I've learned is that
Good things will not fall in my lap
I had to work harder and longer
Be smarter and stronger
Than the person right beside me
Have the confidence and common sense
To know there's still something inside me
I gave my very best, with the purest intent
And I'll be proud when I look back
